Faculty Disclosure • We have not had any relevant financial relationships during the past 12 months.
Learning ObjectivesAt the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • Identify simple data collection procedures to measure outcomes on standards of care outcomes. • Compare ADHD outcomes in three domains between Integrated versus comparison sites. • Identify procedures implemented to impact standards of care adherence. • Discuss other pediatric standards of care in which behavioral health care can impact patient experience and outcomes.

Learning Assessment • A learning assessment is required for CE credit. • A question and answer period will be conducted at the end of this presentation.
Assessment and treatment of ADHD • Greatly consumes PCP’s clinical attention and resources • 15% of pediatric PC practice consists of BX disorders (ADHD most frequent). • 75% of ADHD patients are seen in PC, but only 2% see BH specialists • One-third to half of pediatric BH referrals are for ADHD • At 3-10% of school-aged children, ADHD is the most common childhood BH diagnosis • PCPs complete 1-2 new ADHD evaluations/month & most spend 15-45 minutes at at least 2 visits to reach diagnosis5
AAP Guidelines • Initiate evaluation when a child presents with ADHD-like symptoms • Document that child meets DSM-IV criteria • Obtain evidence from parents regarding core symptoms across settings, age of onset, duration of symptoms, and degree of impairment • Retrieve information from teachers or school personnel • Assess for coexisting conditions |
Multiple Barriers • Less than 25% of physicians are familiar with & implement AAP guidelines in their practice • Lack of training • Limited time • Difficult to coordinate information with school/teachers |
Possible Solution: PCBH • Behavioral health specialists located within a pediatrician’s office can assist with meeting practice guidelines. • High customer satisfaction • Low dropout rates • Increased cost effectiveness • Support adherence to standards of care • Assist in monitoring of treatment & providing behavioral support |
Methods: • Physician surveys: • 6-17 IPC & 24-54 control PCPs • Reported on use of screening tools & comfort in diagnosing ADHD • Chart Review: • Key variables in PCP & IPC BH provider documentation within EHR • Onset, diagnosis, medication, use of rating scales, family hx, comprehensive physical & neurological exam, use of BH services |
Intervention • REACH training • Psychologists on site • Increased availability of rating forms • Change of ADHD template |
Survey Results: Screening Instrument Use • PCPs in IPC clinics report significantly higher use of BH screening instruments compared to PCPs in control clinics (p< .01)
Survey Results: PCP Comfort Diagnosing • IPC PCPs report increased comfort in dx (*p< .01) |
Survey Results: Comfort in Managing • IPC PCPs reported increased comfort in managing ADHD at year one (p< .01) |
Survey Results: PCP Knowledge • IPC PCPs reported increased knowledge of common psychotropic medications and treatment post integration(p< .01) |
| • Conclusions/Implications
Implications • All providers were not equal in documentation of standards of care.
